Fr. Cyril Mathew, India

Bodhisangha Zen master in India

Cyril Mathew S.J. (Jnana Bodhi Ken)

Cyril is an Indian Jesuit priest. He got transmission by Fr. Ama Samy on February 2018 and has been appointed as Associated Zen master. Since many years already he is the leader of the Bodhizendo in South India and, if necessary, he will succeed Fr. Ama in his work. So Bodhizendo, the one and only Zen center in India, will go on with its work also in the next decades.
